I wanna go! Paul is one of my heroes of faith! Glory!

There is an arresting phrase that appears in St. Paul’s letter to the Romans. He speaks of those who “walk in the footsteps of faith.” He is reminding this early Christian Church that the promises given Abraham are realized through faith by which we are justified before a holy God. But the phrase also reminds us that we can walk in the footsteps of those who have gone before us. Today we can do that literally.

This summer I led another group tour to “Bible country” where we followed the missionary journeys of Paul. I have now led seven such study trips. I refer to this as “vacation with a higher purpose,” These trips are life-changing. On this particular trip we traveled to Greece, Turkey, and Italy. We visited sites where Paul founded churches, such as Philippi and Corinth. We cruised to Ephesus and Patmos, with stops at the beautiful islands of Mykonos, Crete and Santorini. More Here
